SANITARY GARBAGE-CAN.

Application filed August 22 To all whom 2'15 may concern:

Be it known that l, PHILIP Cortex,

citizen of the United States, and a resident OI the city t New York, borough of Manhattan, 1n the county and State of how York have invented a new and lm moved I Sanitary Garbage-Can, of which the followin is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to garbage cans or holders of that type in which the receptacle is tiltably mounted in a frame or casing so that when garbage or the like is to be placed in the receptacle the same is tilted from its normal closed condition from with in the casing so as to throw the open top of the receptacle forwardly in position to re ceive the garbage, and alter the receptacle is released it automatically returns to its normal closed position within the casing The invention has for its general objects to improve and simplify the construction and operation of devices of this character so as to be reliable and ellicicnt in use, coinparatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, easily operated and so designed as to ellecti-vely seal the receptacle and thereby retain odors and prevent unsanitary conditions.

A more specific object of the invention is the provision of a stationary casing having an open front out of which the receptacle tilts. the casing including simple, novel and effective means for tiltatly supporting the receptacle and rcmovably holding the same in place.

Still another object of the invention is the provision of means for automatically discharging" a disinfectant into the receptacle when the same is tilted forwardly to receive garbage or like material.

With such objects in view, and others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises various novel features of construction and arrangement oi parts which will he set forth with par ticularity in the following descript on and claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of theinvention and wherein siznilar.cl1aracters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, Figure l is a perspective view of the Specification of Letters Patent.

3 is a vertical section of the garbage holder; Fig. is a similar view showing the receptacle tilted forwardly; Fig. 5 is a perspective view ot the roar section ol' the base l'ramc of the casing; and Fig. (i is a detail sectional view on the line (5G, Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the garbage rcmiynarle, and l3 the casing. frame or stand in which it is tiltably and removably mounted. in the present instance the rcccptimlc A is shown of cylindrical shapiand open at its top. At opposite sides are provided outwardly extcndin; vertical flanges l formed in any suitable manner. as, for instance. by angle-- irons rivctcd to the out ide of the cylindrical body of the receptacle. At the top edge and extending along the front is an upwardly extending lip 2 which, together with the flanges 1, serves to more oftentively seal the receptacle when in closed position in the casing B. The front of the receptacle A may he provided with a han dle The casing 13 consists of a fixed top 4 of any suitable constructionfastened to the body or wall 5, which latter is mounted on a base rinp (3. The body 5 is approximately semi-cylindrical to conform to the shape of the receptacle and being semi-cylindrical the casing ll is formed with an open front to receive the receptacle A. The base ring (3 is composed of a rear section a and a ,front section 71 which are connected together by pivots or hinge pintlcs 7 at 0p posits sides and disposed in alinement so that the front section 7) can tilt dmvnnmrdly to thereby tilt the open end of the receptacle A forwardly, as shown in Fig. 4. The fixed section a oi the base ring (5 is pro vided with a plurality oi legs 8 so a to support the garba e holder a. suitable height'ahovc the floor or talolc on which it. rests and thereby provide snllicient clearance for the tilting of the front section 7). A rubber or other stop 9 is fastened to the under side of the front section Z) so as to strike the floor or table with a-eushion cffecll.

The rear end 1'2 10 of the member 10 overlaps ihe ring; 6 518 to res'r, ihercon. The top surfice i3 01!? the member 10 inclines upwardly towsrcl the rear, as shown in iii. 3 so that, as the cep'lacle is placed. on s base frame and.

5 slipped rearwardly, the circumferential LiB- pencling flange llof the receptacle 2'. will ride up the incline 13 until the end is reached, when the flange will drop oil the member and engage behind the same, as shown in Fig. 3 thereby locking the re-- ceptsole in place. This member .0 is isiotaincd in engagement with the ilirnc e i l of the receptacle A during" the 'lzil'iii move ment of the latter and also while ...he receptools is in closed position. The rec however, can be raised suliicionily lo engage the base flange i i from the more 10 in order to permit the receptacle to be removed forwardly from the casing; 01* stand B. The forward section 5 of base ringfihas a forwardly encoding-ring pedal 15 which is adapted to be engaged Toy the foot and pressed downwardly so to tilt the receptacle so open position.

It Will be noted thsf the receptacle is maintained in fixed rclo'iioo the base ring of the casing 18, and consequently the sealing flanges 1 will engage the vertical ecr 'izne body 5, and she ii") 52 will en; circular rim 1'? of he "sop th reby ms the escape insure homes r" 1o disinfecient oisoeosim in the lop i of W- s he of any suitable col. so be ope 's'iec M reels A. in the present lost. device comprises a chamber 18 cha'sgge port 19 in its bottom so ihe 'chsmloer is s valve .Wiiill a port 21.
